To My Friend Who Doesn't See Her Worth

I can't wait for the day when you finally understand how great you are.

To My Friend Who Doesn't See Her Worth
Alaina Feinberg

My dearest friend,

I wish that you could see yourself through everyone else's eyes. The light that comes from within you is so pure and full of potential if only you could step back and see that. It makes me so sad to know that you don't believe in yourself. If only I could say that I believe in you enough for the both of us -- but that doesn't work. You have to grow to see your own beauty and your own value because unfortunately, I can't make you love yourself.

But I assure you, dear friend, that I will do all that I can to help you understand who you are and what you're worth. Because God created you to be exactly who you are, and as soon as you accept that you'll set the world on fire. You've got this passion for life inside you, and I love when you let it out. You're so genuine and so bold, but you have your guard up most of the time because of invalid insecurities. You spend so much time loving everyone around you that you forget to love yourself.

You've done so much for me and the other people in your life, and I can't wait to see what you do for yourself some day. I'll never stop reminding you how amazing you are because everyone in this world deserves to be told until they believe it themselves. When you finally understand how great you are and you tap into your full potential, the world better watch out. Because you're going to hit the ground running, and you're never going to stop. I can't wait for that day. Your kind heart will be full and that will radiate into the hearts of others.

You're so loved.

P.S. I hope you feel beautiful today.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
